Maureen Neihart - Workshop 'Helping Twice Exceptional Students Succeed: What works?'

Workshop door Maureen Neihart tijdens de conferentie Passend onderwijs & (hoog)begaafdheid op 11/12 november 2014, georganiseerd door het Informatiepunt Onderwijs & Talentontwikkeling (SLO). [Engelstalige workshop] Helping Twice Exceptional Students Succeed: What works? Twice exceptional children are those whose demonstrated performance falls in both directions of the learning spectrum. They demonstrate superior ability in one or more areas, and also have one or more disabilities. They may be gifted with serious emotional difficulties, gifted children with autism spectrum disorders, gifted children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabled gifted children, gifted children with physical handicaps, etc. Helping them to realize their full potential is often a daunting task. The goal of this workshop is to briefly highlight the recent research regarding what helps these students achieve and then to demonstrate interventions that have been demonstrated to be effective for assisting talented children with attention, organization, self regulation, and specific learning tasks.
